Detection of heartworm antigen without cross-reactivity to helminths and protozoa following heat treatment of canine serum
BACKGROUND: Detection of Dirofilaria immitis, or heartworm, through antigen in sera is the primary means of diagnosing infections in dogs. In recent years, the practice of heat-treating serum prior to antigen testing has demonstrated improved detection of heartworm infection. While the practice of h...
